Just a little disclaimer for those advocating more hooks than the PCs will be able to resolve... Like all entertainment media, one way that RPGs can (and some would say should) differ from real-life is that quite often IRL events transpire - we encounter situations of dramatic conflict - that...

I'm continually amazed at how many D&D players seem to miss this point. As though the PCs only get into a fight because they didn't roleplay properly. Combat is great fun, and I think combat in 4e is the most fun of any edition.

This. There's enough room in those modules to incorporate personalised hooks for your particular PCs, and really, they're the ones who drive the story. As a DM your job is to tailor the adventure to the PCs you've got. It's not hard, especially when you've got space in the module backstory to...

A dangerous and unfounded truism. See Nietszche's 'slave morality'.

So true. Golarion is excellent but I just can't use anything form it without extensive re-writing (beyond mechanical conversion). Points of Light, while uninspiring in itself (though there are kernels of inspiration coming out with the newer splatbooks) is the perfect template for homebrewing.

Just my point. I couldn't fit it into ten. In fact, I didn't even try.

Thanks mate.

I've been dicking around with this all day. It's excellent.

Hell yeah! And you could represent the 'bloodied' condition by throwing spaghetti sauce at your players.

Who's to say luck isn't an inherent quality? Either way, our circumstance is who we are.

So much hair. I hope these elves have moustaches.

Thirded.

Don't just leave this out there. We want examples dammit.

Thanks guys. That tiddlywiki looks like what I'm after. Especially that MPTW mod.

Definitely. Too many DMs don't understand how little of what they know about the gameworld is coming through in their descriptions.

Me too. One of the joys of DMing, for me, is paving the road in front of the PCs. Because I like to keep my campaign prep modular, I can invent (or more likely, steal) metaplot and threat elements with the confidence that the players won't miss them - because they can't miss them. The story...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone had a good system for organising their game that didn't require internet access. I guess what I want is some kind of wiki system on my hard drive; with pages/documents hyperlinked to each other and so on. Is there any good software out there, free or...

My advice is to hit your players over the head with any clues you want them to take note of. Foreshadow as much as you want (but if you're too subtle, be prepared for your players to never notice), however when it comes to clues you really want them to take note of then either labour the point...

I see primordials as insane, for want of a better term. Their way of thinking is similar to that of humans, yet just wrong enough that modern medicine would diagnose a primordial as having one or more psychotic disorders. This is in contrast with the various deities who would only have...

My group met Timesus and killed it. I think it went pretty well.
